Here is a super challenge for you if you feel up for it. (You will need to work this out in Excel.) In 2017 the Islamic month of fasting, Ramadan, began on Friday, 26 May. What fraction of the year was this? (to 1 decimal place) Hint: Think carefully which start and end dates to use.

7/73

Explanation:

May has 31 days. 31 - 26 = 5. So there are 5 more days to the next month (June). June has 30 days. So Muslims fasted 35 days in total. 2017 had 365 days. 365 - 35 = 330 days were spent not fasting. So the fraction is 35/365. This fraction simplified would be 7/73.
